Think what you may about this, but bear in mind one thing.....the number of countries in the world who would discipline their own soldiers for illegal acts to this degree in a time of war can be counted on one hand.
Eight soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division will be court-martialed on murder charges stemming from their service in Iraq, including two who face a death sentence for allegedly raping a 14-year-old girl and killing her and her family, the military ordered Wednesday.
The Fort Campbell soldiers facing the death penalty are Sgt. Paul E. Cortez and Pfc. Jesse V. Spielman. Both are accused of raping Abeer Qassim al-Janabi in her family's home in Mahmoudiya, about 20 miles south of Baghdad, then killing her along with her parents and younger sister.
Contrary to those on the left who say this proves we are no better than them, it proves just the opposite.
